The Carolina Cup steeplechase is an age old tradition in South Carolina. It is an all day affair. The belles wear their best dresses and of course big hats and the beaus look handsome in their bow ties (and boy did they!). If you're from Camden or grew up going to the races like myself, you take the family silver and china and picnic by the track. As for the collegiate crowd, its one big, fun tailgate. I love the Carolina Cup and it was great seeing all of my friends from other colleges gather together in College Park. There's only 364 more days until I get to do it all again and I can't wait!

People often joke that they went to Cup and had so much fun that they didn't even see a horse. For those of you who went to Cup, did you see a race? I was determined to see a race before I left the track yesterday. So did I see any races? You bet I did! :)

About Me

hmmm....
I'm studying Art History and Business Management at the University of South Carolina. I love my Gamecocks and everything about Carolina! I'm a true southern girl whose favorite color is, you guessed it, PINK! "Pretty in Pink" is my all time favorite movie, hence the title of my blog. I'm a shopaholic and you'll always see me in my pearls. I believe you should live life to the fullest. Someone once said, "Each day is a new canvas to paint on. Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness, and at the end of the day you don't look at it and wish you had painted something different." Happy blogging! :)
